It will be very difficult for Riga to achieve anything in this edition of the Europa League, although they may have already fulfilled their goal by reaching this stage of the competition. However, their upcoming opponent Galatasaray certainly have bigger ambitions.
Riga are not at that levelRiga will hardly be displaced from the top of the Latvian championship, but obviously this is not enough for the team to be equal to the experienced European fighters in the Europa League. Last week they suffered a heavy defeat against FCSB, but now at least they are playing at home, which gives some hope. Galatasaray, on the other hand, are the leaders in the Turkish championship, with one draw and six wins in seven games played there, most of them convincing.
Bet on Galatasaray to winI expect Galatasaray not to encounter any particular difficulties in winning this match. They are a significantly superior team and would not allow such mistakes.
